Dufouleur Frères’ Le Fouleur Pinot Noir is a great introduction to their range – an early drinking Pinot packed with immediate appeal.

Made principally from grapes grown in Côte d'Or and the Côte Chalonnaise, this elegant and refined Bourgogne Rouge has good body and classic red fruit aromas. Part of the blend is aged from 6 to 12 months in oak barrels and the aging is then completed in stainless steel vats in order to return the lithe freshness indispensable to an early-drinking wine.

The Dufouleur family has a long history of winemaking in Burgundy and the family can be traced back to 1596 and the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The original family name fouleur literally means grape crusher (depicted on the label), and this manual trade was practiced until the end of the 19th century.

Reviews

Attractive aromas of cherry and red fruits, very pinot, with light spice and flowers. Delightful fruit palate, well focused on front and centre, fresh and balanced in the finish.

"What we like about the business is that 'fine' doesn't just mean famous. The first growths and their ilk are here, but in company with some excellent, less well-known, sometimes very limited production wines and often at what seem very reasonable prices."

"The range is excellent and I don’t just mean that they go right to the very top. There’s something for everyone, whether you want mature first-growth Bordeaux or a little known gem from an estate that’s been in the same family for generations and which you’d be hard-pushed to find anywhere else other than at the cellar door. I’m always finding things I want to try on Cadman’s list."
